Stories are how culture moves. Quest was proud to be part of the moment Australian literature made history. The 2026 Stella Prize was awarded to Lee Lai for Cannon, a powerful recognition of the female and non-binary writers shaping what Australian stories look and sound like. The Stella Prize exists because representation in storytelling isn’t a nice-to-have. It’s a structural shift in who gets reviewed, published, and read. Quest’s Platinum Partnership with Stella is grounded in exactly that belief: building something more equitable, more reflective of the communities we’re part of. A genuine thank you to the Quest Business Owners who showed up on the night because they believe in this work. 📚 Save this and read more about the partnership on our website. #QuestApartmentHotels #StellaPrize #AustralianLiterature #DoingBetter #QuestForACause
